Creative Scrappers Sketchbook Volume 3

If you're an occasional scrapper like me, and have limited scrappy time... then you will love these sketchbooks published by Kristine Davidson of Creative Scrappers!!!  They are wonderful to help kickstart your mojo when you find yourself pushing paper around your desk (as I often am these days!).

She has just released Volume 3 and I'm over the moon excited!  I was asked to create a layout for the publication based on one of the awesome sketches, and I chose to scrap a funny photo of Ralphie with some Studio Calico/Sassafras goodies.

You can download a digital copy of the sketchbook HERE, and see below for a discount code!

I prefer to have both paper AND digital, and there are still some sketchbooks available to order HERE.

And if these sketchbooks are new to you, check out the Digital copies of V1&2!

Happy fun!!!

Creative Scrappers Sketch 267

Here is my take on yet another fabulous Creative Scrappers Sketch!  I really enjoyed working with this two photo layout.  I struggled a bit with the color combo since the photos have such a bold background, but all in all I think it worked out well :-) 

These Photobooth photos are one of my absolute favorite things about a S&CT Crop and Create!  The floral backgrounds are always the same, so the only way to really tell which photo was taken at which crop is by our clothes!  (Ahem... I've been known to wear shirts to the crop that match the photobooth LOL)

Creative Scrappers Sketch 265

Grids are Back baby!!!

I just love this latest Creative Scrappers sketch!  It was the perfect way for me to document our first week with Athena, and I added a couple of extra photos in there just to capture it all.

I dug out one of my older Studio Calico kits and just loved playing with the sketch design and moving my embellishments around the layout.

Creative Scrappers Sketch 264!

Here is the latest Creative Scrappers sketch!  This was so much fun, I loved working with this sketch! 

I dug out some lovely Fancy Pants papers and embellies, and I'm just loving the new direction that they are taking with their designs!

Back in 2008 when I first began scrapbooking, I was ALL about Fancy Pants.  I couldn't get enough of their products.  Then I'm not certain what happened, if they changed, or I changed... but there were many other companies that were vying for my attention and their designs just didn't speak to me. 

That is until now.  I love their products!  The designs are much cleaner, and trendy... and I've enjoyed their last few collections in 2013 and just recently their CHA 2014 collections.

Creative Scrappers Sketch 263

Good Morning Scrappy Friends!

Here is another lovely Creative Scrappers sketch to share with you today!  I struggled with it at first because of the size of the photo area being 6x12... my printer only prints 8½ x 11 so I sat at my desk scratching my head for a bit to figure out how to make it work. 

After I reminded myself that the sketch is an inspiration starting point, I was fine!  I found this iPhone pic of Roxy when she was a kitten and printed it a bit larger than 5x7 and matted it out so it would cover that space a bit better.

Here is my take on the sketch, hope you enjoy it!

Creative Scrappers Sketch #262

Here is the latest sketch from Creative Scrappers.... and again, the sketch designer has pushed me out of my safe place and had me create something I wouldn't have thought of doing. I just love that about these sketches! Not only are they great jump starts when you are having a scrappy block, but they help develop your creative muscle as well!

I tend to get stuck in the same rut.... rectangles, layers, off set with white space and title off to the side.  If left to my own devices, this is all that I would scrap LOL

Here is my take on the sketch, using an older Crate Paper collection.... Stashbusting 2014 continues!!!  I'm determined to use up what I have before I buy all the new CHA releases :-)

Creative Scrappers and White with One Reveal!

Creative Scrappers teamed up with the White with One challenge Blog for a wonderful reveal!

Using Creative Scrappers sketch #255, we were to ONLY use the color Blueberry along with White!  Ack! I never realized how little dark blue I had in my stash!  It certainly was a challenge for me, but I loved it!  It forced me out of my comfort zone of colors, and I really enjoyed the process.

 

Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to visit the Creative Scrappers Blog for the full DT reveal and also a chance to win a prize pack from Charm Creations
